Although I have not tried this on Enix, the problem *may* be that as originally
distributed the MP 286 DWB was in STL *not* COFF.  This sucked in a big way
as even Microport 386 didn't deal with STL.  (To answer the next question,
STL== Single Task Loadable, Intels binary "standard")

Use file(1) to see for sure.  File knows about STL 286.
